Instagram is harassing me

[betterthanpills]

almost three years since house of the dragon came out and i have NOT yet read one single intelligent take from people whose favorite character is… alicent hightower (including ryan condal and sara hess).

no offense if you like her character and you’re chill, but most of you are very delusional and constantly spew takes that set women back 50 years… like genuinely salivating about how stupid and victimized she is in the show.

she’s not “a closeted gay loser who yearns,” she’s written as a hypocritical abusive imbecile, who is the writers’ punching bag and also hogs the screentime.

nothing nuanced or complex about most of the characters, especially alicent, since the writers simply AREN’T GOOD.

Vent:

This isn't my usual type of post, but I need this off my chest. I am so exhausted of people making decisions for me. As though I am not a competent and accomplished adult.

For a man to decide that i am primarily a sex object, to then turn around and remove himself from my life because others have seen me as he does? Fuck. Fuck! There is wrath in me. The kind to rival the ocean.

To suddenly decide that I am not worth pursuing. That, all of a sudden, it would be a wicked thing to find himself interested in me. For what? Because it is unthinkable to touch something damaged? Because I am spoiled goods?

My wants, suddenly, are irrelevant. As all woman's opinions eventually become irrelevant. As our desires become obsolete. It is 2026, why does a man get to decide what i can handle? Where do they get the idea that I, a sex trafficking survivor, cannot feel lust or desire? Who are they to demand a boundary they were very happy not to have before?

This, dearest, is beyond unfair. It is unfeminist, infantalising, and demanding of a performance of victimhood. A perversion of the madonna whore complex.

To say it, completely. To scream it into the world so it will stop sitting so heavy on my heart.

I am a sex trafficking survivor. I am a human being. I have lust, and desire. I both want and enjoy sex. I have the right and ability to say how much I can handle, and where I need to stop. And taking these decisions from me, deciding I must be treated delicately, is truly just a demand for me to perform victimhood and trauma in a way that is to your liking. It is unfeminist, and dehumanising.

I am a human. I have desire. It is for me to decide my boundaries.

You have permission to reblog. I know it is not only me that feels like this. And it is important for people to hear this.

Shame is so deceptive that it will have you taking responsibility for things that you were meant to be rescued from.

You seriously lack a perception if you don't see the world predominantly being predatory with regards to our children. Is safety even a word, does it even exist? Whether it be the political system, the economic system or even the educational system - what are they creating the next generations for? What 'values' or more appropriately what false ideologies are being inculcated into their innocent minds? What goods and services are being glorified and being sold to them? Who are becoming their ideals and what sort of a lifestyle is being benchmarked? It is as if the greatest victims of our modern global society are our own children. What sort of a world are we even building when there is zero resentment in our hearts!

Economics avoids the question of why it is that in every economic system that has ever existed, the vast majority get screwed. -- Michael Lipsey

That he had hunted me so quietly, that I had allowed my neck to get caught in the teeth of something stupid.
